Fall trend: Grey nails

One funny part of fall in New York is that you start spotting all the new nail polish colors on women around town. My favorite color might be this dove grey. Isn't it understated and beautiful? Here, my friend Kendra is wearing NARS Galathee. What do you think? What other nail colors are you liking these days?

I really love wearing mattes, greys, and taupe-y colours for fall - it seems like the only appropriate season to do so! What's great about them is that they also match with virtually any outfit. You should also check out these Essie colours: Chinchilly and Minkmuffs :)

I love all of the light nails. I call them "tinted white out" polishes. I have found those that are lighter, or are tinted from a white tend to chip and scratch easily. If getting a light nail I opt for shellac. It lasts longer.

I've been really into Butter London's "Lady Muck" for a few years now. Check it out, it's a beautiful grayish blue. And once a british manicurist told me that Lady Muck is an expression for someone who made it big and forgot where they came from. Fun fact!

Also, I too would love to hear about that jewelry. Especially the dainty necklace!

I have had great CND shellac manicures in that same light gray. and rescue beauty lounge makes the best regular polish in that color, in my opinion. and her rings are probably from Catbird NYC, who seems to be taking over the internets.

gray is my favorite color and i just recently bought some gray nail polish (a shade darker than this one) and have been wearing it for a few month now. it is my favorite nail polish because it goes with everything and just seems classy and understated but also unique. and it kind of excites me that i am perhaps at the beginning of a trend for the first time in my life :)

I don't think that shade would look nice on me. I'm super pale and I think it could make my hands look like I have a heart condition or something... :)I'm going to try black nail polish this season, though. After a white nail polish Summer, I think it's time for a drastic change! xx,E.www.theslowpace.com

Nail polish (like hair colour) really depends on your individual colouring. I find Grey's tend to look great on me (& dark/tanned skin in general). Sort of sophistacted without trying too hard. Greens&Blue's for me however are a no no! This philosophy is the complete 180 degree opposite for my friend who is pale with red hair.

All the understated and neutral colors have been coming out from the bottom of nail polish boxes lately. I've also seen dark, kind-of faded purples recently! They're so nice, but I have not yet been able to pull away from my hot pink and green watermelon nails.

Right now, I'm basically only wearing grey nail polish. I have essie chinchilly and I love it, but the one in those pictures looks so pretty. Darker grey sounds nice, too—I might have to try it. And yes—that grey with the gold colored rings is just perfection.

I saw this post on Friday and while at the store Sunday, picked out a lovely shade called "Wet Cement" and had to try it as soon as I got home. I'm loving it! Great find. I also have a slightly darker shade called "Grey Area" which I also love.
